Mission and Program Overview
Mission
The mission of The Seed Farm is to cultivate the next generation of farmers. The Seed Farm provides land, training, infrastructure and other support for new farmers to start their own agricultural enterprises. To new farmers who come from non-farming backgrounds, the costs associated with farming are often prohibitively high. They are also lacking vital knowledge and training in many skills that are critical for long-term farming success. With intensive support leading up to and during the first few years of farm ownership, aspiring farmers are able to lay a solid foundation for their new farms. While at The Seed Farm, they receive ongoing instruction about environmentally sustainable growing practices, build credit as well as a customer base, while growing healthy food for the community.
Provide land, training, infrastructure and other support for new farmers to start their own agricultural enterprises.
